Project 365....day 207

Day 207 brought me back to the covered bridge in Edinburgh, NY...you know, the one I blogged about here, and here. Well anyway....I headed back up there to see what I could see, and I found a few beautiful bits and pieces!!

Project 365....day 206

Day 206 was a day spent at my Momma's. We played, we swam, and we watched a slightly morbid part of the life cycle take place....join us, won't you?

The gross part...




Just ONE of the fun parts!!


Project 365....day 205

Day 205 was another long day at work for me. When I finally got home that evening, I grabbed up my camera and went out to shoot!! I got this shot, and as soon as I saw it on the computer, it made me think of my friend Solomon. A man who, whenever I complain about the bad weather cramping my shooting style, reminds me of what the great Robert Hunter once said;

"Every once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right..."

With that in mind, here is my photo of the day for day 205...

Project 365....day 204

Today my husband's aunt Meltz and her little girl came down to hang for the day/night before heading back home tomorrow afternoon. We got the kids together to play, and EVERYONE had a blast...here are some of my favorite moments. ♥

First, my sweet Toes, showing off his (seriously) dirty face, and the oreo he was munching on.




Meltzer's sweet girl, Meggie, and my Amelia-mazing! ♥ (keep in mind that the only reason A's as tall as M is because she was standing on paint cans!)




One of my favorites from tonight; the 3 amigos!


Project 365....day 203

Ok, so I HAVE to brag for a minute....my little Toes is a punk rocker. *sigh* I'm so proud. My life is now complete. Seriously though, he's super into punk rock music, and as you've all see, rocks the mohawk, well today it all came together in one perfect drumming package!!




Then, he dropped the drumsticks so he could pick them up with his toes....that didn't work, so he had to get right down there...


Project 365....day 202

For day 202, my amazing (tolerant) husband took me out in the canoe so I could get some fun pictures, and try my hand at photographing Lily pads again! Here are my (fantastic) results!!

A water Lily....




...a dragonfly...




...and a tiny turtle!!


Project 365....day 201

Day 201 was nothing but F-U-N!! I went up to one of my favorite places to shoot the fall leaves and sunsets to take advantage of the beautiful summer day and shoot the old, un-used kiddy roller coaster!

Project 365....day 200!!

I have done it!! I have made it 200 days (more than that now!) into my project here, and I am honestly pretty shocked that I've stuck to it this long....if nothing else, the last 165 days should be cake, right?! Ahem....without further adu, my 3.6.5 pictures for day 200!

Pretty Kittys!

Project 365....day 199

Day 199....kayaking with my (awesome) friend Heather. ♥ Peace, quiet, beautiful scenery, and best of all? Some ADULT time!! ♥




I ♥ Lily pads....and if you look closely, you can see a couple of electric-blue dragonflies!!


Project 365....day 198

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!! Sunday meant another double this week, but I was lucky enough to buy some time and be able to look for some pictures in the clouds...




~*~*~*~*~*~




What do YOU see?

Project 365....day 197

Project 365....day 196

Friday brought me a LOOOOONGGGGG-ass day at work. I subbed in for a party, and pulled a double, and only had 15 minutes free between 11 am and 11 pm; the 15 minutes it took me to go to Johnstown and pick up my little cousin so that he could wash dishes at the restaurant that night. That said, these flowers made me smile.

Project 365....day 195

Day 195.....

Make Way For DUCKLINGS!!




...and very lazy kitties....




.....and beautiful crimson lilies!


Project 365....day 194

For day 194 I took a little ride to visit my friend Mrs. Falcon. Her babies are getting bigger!! ♥ I actually got a peek at them this time, which, let me tell you, was a HUGE highlight of this amazing photo week. Here, for your viewing pleasure is 'The view from up here'

Mama Falcon.....




A quick glimpse of the babies....




Then a couple of other goodies I found right there on the side of Rt. 8!

Project 365....day 193

Day 193 brought me company for dinner! My wonderful friend Shelby and her sweet, sweet baby came over for dinner. Therefore, I have sweet little bits of baby for you all!! ♥ ♥

From his toes....




...to his nose!


Project 365....day 192

Day 192 brought me a portrait shoot with my beautiful friend Heather. She asked me a few weeks ago if, once her ink was finished and healed, if I would be interested in a shoot to showcase the ink on her back. (If you want to see that session click here) This out-take does not highlight the ink on her back, but I ♥ LOVE ♥ the expression on her face, and her eyes in this shot.


Project 365....day 191

"...I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together..."


Project 365....day 190

Did I mention that I'm not having much luck growing things this year?




Don't believe me?


Project 365....day 189

sleepy boys are so sweet...


Project 365....day 188

Day 188 brings some flowers.....my daughter has a greener thumb than I do this year!! (This is the second flat of flowers she's grown, and because of her, my tomatoes are taking off, FINALLY!

Project 365....day 187

Today is a big day!! A couple of weeks ago, I shot some eggs for my 365. (you can view them here) Well, those eggs have hatched! A few days ago, as a matter of fact. The first couple of days these little guys were so tiny, and had NO hair at all, and couldn't even lift their little heads! Now they're getting cute, and they lift their little heads up, as you'll see....




Then, there was some SERIOUS pool action; Amelia-mazing flying through the air!
